This course covers selected distributions that are usually used in statistics i.e test distributions, order statistics; provides methods of deriving probability distributions for non-substandard distributions i.e. functions of random variables; modeling and ways of selecting variables for the model; simple and complex hypothesis testing and analysis of variance.

THIS COURSE DEALS WITH THE ENVIRONMENT AND HOW IT INTERACTS WITH THE LIVING ORGANISMS. IT ALSO DEALS WITH THE TRANSFER OF ENERGY BETWEEN DIFFERENT ORGANISMS OF DIFFERENT TROPHIC LEVELS. THE NUMBERS OF ORGANISMS AND WHAT INFLUENCES IT WILL BE DELT WITH UNDER POPULATION DYNAMICS.

The course covers basic concepts, theories and practices used for analysing digital circuits. it follows up on the ideas introduced in Introductory Electronics ( PHY 340, but treated at an advanced level.. It is a done in year four.

It is an introductory course in Human Genetics offered to 2nd year students majoring in Biology. Basically, it looks at the fundamentals of genetics and human genetics. It gives an insight on what brings about similarities and differences in individuals.

This course grounds students in the syntax and semantics of African Languages. It helps them be able to see how the sentence structure differs from the one Zambian scholars are used to which is the English language. It also prompts students to discuss the common feature among Bantu languages which is the nominal class system. The nominal class system deals mainly with semantis.

This course looks at the development of African Literature from the early twenth century to the present. The course introduces students to various writers from the first generation, second and upto the present. The development of various narrative styles from differnt parts of the continent and how the various styles of writing have influenced the writers to write in a particular way and the themes that each generation of writers concentrate on. Focus is on writers from southern Africa, East Africa, West Africa and Central Africa.

This is one of the first year courses that are compulsory for all geography students. It introduces students to principles of physical geography. the major components of the coursw are Climatology, Pedology, Gemorphology, and Biogeography. stiudents are expected to submit two assignments, fifteen practicals and to attend three practical per week per term. there are 3lecturers namely Tembo A, Mumba D, and Mankapi L.

Theory and Practice of education is a compulsory component of the education course. This is a course that looks at some theories in education and also deals with the practical part - teaching methodologies as well as the school experience programme.

Linear Algebra is about Vectors, Vector Spaces and Transformations on them that are linear. Linear Algebra is used in our day to day lives. It is used in building bridges, construction of houses. Linnear Algebra will focus on the folowing:i. Vector Spacesii Linear Transformationsiii. Othorgonality and iv Matrix Diagonalisation.

BBS 110 is a course that introduce students to accounting and the concept up on which it is founded. It also exposes students to the recording of business transactions and the preparation of finacial statements; such as for sole trader, manufacturers'accounts, non profit organisation, and single entry.

This course introduces the student to fundamental skills and concepts in working with the computer in the Information Age. The student will learn concepts to do with information technology and its tools as they are used in today's computing environment.

Every living organism is made out of Ogarnic chemicals.The proteins that make up the hiar,skin and muscles;The DNA that control the genetic heritage;the food that nourish you and the medicines are all organic chemicals.Anyone with a curiosity about life and living things and wants to be part of remarkable advances in medicine and biological science must first understand Organic chemistry.therefor oganic chemistry is the study of carbon coumpounds.

The focus of this course is the physical properties that characterize matter. Students examine characteristic properties including density, solubility, and melting and boiling points. The particle model is utilized to illustrate how materials behave under different conditions (changes in temperature and/pressure). The link is made between the increase/decrease of energy and the behavior of the materials.

Welcome to this course which deals with organisms, their identity and characrateristics. The course requires you to have knowledge of the different charactieristcs and their life cycles. This gives gives you the challenge to have a general knowlegde of the organisms that you encounter in the day to day life. How ever, you should be aware that most of the terminologies in this context arose from Latin and thus the need to have a basic pronouncements of the latin vocabulary.

Welcome to this terms' work coverage. This is a busy and short term as you know we have to be ready for our end of year exams by latest first week of July.

Lets review the course outline and see what we have covered and what we have not yet. Have we all agreed we need to cover the following remaining topics from our course outline... Lovely. Lets look at the first topic; " A critical review of the school teaching experience which you have just had".

In groups of five discuss the following questions and choose a secretary to present your findings:

Group 1 - Most common forms of classroom discipline problems you encountered during your school teaching experience as a Geography teacher.

This course teaches office administration and management. it also teaches about the office environment, layout, effects of scientific management on office management and the preparation of itineraries etc.

Real analysis is a branch of mathematical analysis which is concerned with the rigorous analysis of the real number system. Mathematical Analysis was the first area of mathematics in which the need and utility of the modern insistence on rigor was developed. Most mathematical concepts have been born out of intuitive ideas (think of how integration was developed through the idea of summing the areas an infinite amount of rectangles drawn under a curve). However as mathematics becomes more advanced this intuitive approach becomes limited and more difficult to verify.

Quantum mechanics is the most fundamental theory of physics and has the widest range of applicability. It is the cornerstone of any physics degree programme. Therefore a good introduction to the subject is essential for physics students. A thorough grasp of it is necessary for almost all postgraduate work. PHY 450 aims to introduce the basics of quantum mechanics to the student in a way that lays a foundation for further study of the subject and for its use in other areas of physics.

Objectives

At the end of this course, the student should have learned:

1. The failings of classical physics and the need for quantum concepts
